iRobot Roomba 614

The iRobot Roomba 614 is okay on bare floors. It easily clears fine debris like baking soda and doesn't have many issues with bulkier material like cereal. It also has an impressive build quality. However, it struggles with pet hair, which tends to clump up and get stuck on the brushroll, and has fairly demanding maintenance needs.
